The original screen ratio for television broadcasts was 4:3. When preparing a film that was originally intended to be displayed in widescreen for television broadcast the material was often edited with the sides truncated, using a technique called pan and scan. Widescreen images are a variety of aspect ratios used in film, television and computer screens. In film, a widescreen film is any film image with a width-to-height aspect ratio greater than the standard 1.37:1 Academy aspect ratio provided by 35mm film. For television, the original screen ratio for broadcasts was 4:3. In the 2000s, 16:9 TV displays came into wide use. They are typically used in conjunction with high-definition television (HDTV) receivers, or Standard-Definition (SD) DVD players and other digital television sources.

One of the most often overlooked benefits of in-wall speakers is much reduced diffraction. This reduction of early reflections helps both the imaging (localization of the phantom images created by multichannel audio) and the tonality (timbre) of a speaker system. The other benefit of an in-wall mounting is that the in-wall mounting takes the guess work out of the speaker voicing (so called baffle step) by giving very predictable low frequency behavior for the half space (2 pi) mounting of the wall. A free standing wall speaker, depending on the distance from the rear wall and side walls has a complex interference of their direct and reflected sound, causing dips in the response around 200 Hz, the so called "Allison effect".

AC power plugs and sockets are devices for removably connecting electrically operated devices to the power supply. Electrical plugs and sockets differ by country in voltage and current rating, shape, size and type of connectors. The types used in each country are set by national standards. France, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and some other countries have standardized on a round plug with two round pins measuring 4.8 by 19 mm, spaced 19 mm apart and with a hole for the socket's ground pin. This standard will also accept Europlugs and CEE 7/17 plugs. Sockets are installed with the earth pin upwards. Although the plug is polarised, there is no universally observed standard for connecting the live and neutral. CEE 7/5 plugs are not compatible with the CEE 7/4 socket because grounding in the CEE 7/5 socket is effected by a round male pin permanently mounted in the socket.

Conventional wisdom says get a dog for home defense. This mom had two, including a 200-pound English Mastiff, that the intruders were able to lock in a bathroom. Having neither a mind capable of tactical thought nor hands with which to open a door, the dogs proved useless. "I started calling 911. I called five times. They kept hanging up on me." Then enter her son's .22 rifle.

A storm drain is designed to drain excess rain and ground water from paved streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and roofs. Storm drains vary in design from small residential dry wells to large municipal systems. They are fed by street gutters on most motorways, freeways and other busy roads, as well as towns in areas which experience heavy rainfall, flooding and coastal towns which experience regular storms.

When you say Star Wars, most people think of galaxies far far away. But all these exotic planets from the movies were filmed on earth. Four of the Star Wars movies were partially filmed in southern Tunisia (the planet Tatooine in the movies) and the good thing is that many of the locations are still in relative good state.

Loathed wherever they go, parasitic worms are some of the animal kingdom's true lowlifes. They feed off living hosts, sapping them of energy and nutrients while causing a range of horrible diseases. After worming their way into people's lives, particularly in developing countries, these suckers can lie undetected for months or even years. They just take, take, take, and when they reveal themselves, gracious me, are they hideous creatures to lay your eyes on! Here are five of the worst known to eat us humans from the inside out – but try to be good hosts as we welcome in the parasitic worms. Get it? Good hosts. Get it? Get it?!

Undertow is a subsurface flow of water returning seaward from shore as result of wave action. This type of shore current can play a role in material deposition such as creating sand bars. Undertows are below-surface rushes of water returning to sea after the water comes ashore as breaking waves. If there is an area under the waves where water can flow back out to sea more easily (such as a break in a sand bar) then a narrow rip current can form. If however there is no weak point in the surf line, then the water that has run up onto the beach simply flows back out to sea under the waves, forming a simple undertow. There is a popular misconception that the undertow is responsible for many drownings by somehow pulling people vertically down, so that they are then held under the water surface. While people can drown in any body of water, even a puddle, undertow itself is relatively harmless.

The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. John M. Browning designed the firearm which was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985. The M1911 is still carried by some U.S. forces. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The M1911 is the best-known of John Browning's designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. Besides the pistol being widely copied itself, this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. It is popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as USPSA, IDPA, International Practical Shooting Confederation, and Bullseye shooting. Compact variants are popular civilian concealed carry weapons, because of the design's inherent slim width and the power of the .45 ACP cartridge, as this angry father demonstrates. Kudos to you, dad!

A fire escape is a special kind of emergency exit, usually mounted to the outside of a building or occasionally inside but separate from the main areas of the building. It provides a method of escape in the event of a fire or other emergency that makes the stairwells inside a building inaccessible. Fire escapes are most often found on multiple-story residential buildings, such as apartment buildings. A fire escape consists of a number of horizontal platforms, one at each story of a building, with ladders or stairs connecting them. The platform and stairs are usually open steel gratings, to prevent the buildup of ice, snow, and leaves. At one time, they were a very important aspect of fire safety for all new construction in urban areas; more recently, however, they have fallen out of common use.

The sports teams at the University of Kansas (KU), in Lawrence, Kansas, are known as the Jayhawks. KU is one of three schools in the state of Kansas that participate in NCAA Division I. The Jayhawks are also a member of the Big 12 Conference. University of Kansas athletic teams have won ten NCAA Division I championships, including three in men's basketball, one in men's cross country, three in men's indoor track and field, and three in men's outdoor track and field. Kansas first fielded a women's basketball team during the 1968–1969 season, although the team's best post-season result was a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 1998.

Speaking of sports ladies, I'm a big fan of Gina Carano -- her fighting anyway, her acting leaves a bit lot to be desired. But in that regard, really who isn't a fan of this? And I used to think she was the exception to the rule -- you know, the only feminine fighter out there in a sea of women like this who look like they eat several bowls of cocks each morning. But turns out I'm wrong. Carano's not the only sexy female MMA fighter out there. There are a number of other fighters who possess both skill inside the ring and beauty outside of it. And we would be remiss if we didn't educate you about these other sexy MMA women. Therefore, here is a list of 11 hot MMA fighters NOT named Gina Carano, starting with Ginele Marquez from Orange County. California, not the choppers. BTW, dibs on Meisha Tate (on the right).

The Saharan silver ant is one of the most heat-tolerant land animals in the world. In fact, the only creatures that can survive higher temperatures are worms that live around boiling hydrothermal vents on the bottom of the ocean. This ant's only predator is a type of desert lizard, so to protect themselves they go out during the absolute hottest part of the day in one of the most searing environments on Earth where no organism could possibly survive. Scurrying as fast as their little legs can carry them across scalding sands that can be over 150 degrees Fahrenheit, these critters are fighting against the clock. They can only forage while in the blazing heat and they can only survive for a few moments before they fry, so they have to get out, find the food and get the fuck back as soon as possible. But it's not just the fires of hell where ants can survive; another type of ant, Polyrhachis sokolova, is the world's only known aquatic ants, which means they can both swim and build underwater lairs, just like all of your favorite supervillains. Living in the mangroves along the Australian coast, these ants have cleverly designed their hives so that, when the tide comes in and completely covers the hive with water, the ants can survive in little pockets of air stationed throughout the hive. No other air-breathing creature on Earth can build an aquatic home except humans.

Nestlé Crunch is the name of a chocolate bar made of milk chocolate with crisped rice mixed in, produced by Nestlé. Its current slogan is, "For the Kid in You." It was first introduced in 1937. Nestlé has recently discontinued the traditional packaging technique of wrapping the bar in aluminum foil, sleeved inside a blue paper label, in favor of more conventional packaging practices. The chocolate bar can now commonly be found in a single-ply inner metallised boPET polyester film, typical of convenience foods packaging.

A watch is a small timepiece, typically worn either on the wrist or attached on a chain and carried in a pocket, with wristwatches being the most common type of watch used today. Most inexpensive and medium-priced watches used mainly for timekeeping are electronic watches with quartz movements. Expensive, collectible watches valued more for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal than for simple timekeeping, often have purely mechanical movements and are powered by springs, even though mechanical movements are less accurate than more affordable quartz movements. Metal watch bands with removeable links can often be adjusted at the clasp to change the length. Simply take the spring bar out and put it through one of the other pre-drilled holes.

People alarmed by Ultimate Fighting are sure to be shocked by Ultimate Tazer Ball, a new game in which players use stun guns to floor their opponents. Its backers say the game will develop into an exciting sport of the future. Although the league has yet to play an official game, Ultimate Tazer Ball has a website touting four teams, and video of players dashing around an indoor soccer field and zapping the shit out of each other with hand-held stun guns. The guns are not as powerful as the type used by police, but can still produce a painful shock.

Back in 2004, a flip on skis gone tragically wrong broke Josh Dueck's back and left him as a T11 -- full paraplegic. For the past 8 years one of his dreams has been to do a flip on snow again.

It's The Darkroom Where Satan Develops His Negatives.

William Gary Busey, best known as Gary Busey, is an American film and stage actor, and artist. On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured, and doctors feared he suffered permanent brain damage. At the recommendation of Dr. Drew Pinsky, Busey was seen by psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy. Sophy suspected that Busey's brain injury has had a greater effect on him than realized. He described it as essentially weakening his mental "filters" and causing him to speak and act impulsively. Sophy recommended Busey take a medication called Depakote (valproic acid), to which Busey agreed. Despite appearing in over 70 feature films -- some some quite normal -- a shout out to Julio Iglesias by the way -- and some not so normal, Busey recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Tuesday, revealing debts that far outweigh his assets. In court papers, the actor indicates that he has $50,000 or less in assets, while his liabilities are somewhere in the $500,000 to $1 million range. And it was on Jimmy Kimmel Live where Gary exposed his plans to become a meat seeking missile. And in case you need a refresher, this is the Meatloaf blowup he was talking about, although this is how I choose to remember Meatloaf. You know what FEAR stands for? It stands for 'False Evidence Appearing Real.' It's the darkroom where Satan develops his negatives. YEAH!

Anyway, it seems Symphony is a beatable game since several people have done so, the first of which was Jim, followed a few hours later by Matt, and then later in the evening David and Eric. And when I say David and Eric and don't mean David and Eric like David-and-Eric because that would be, you know. And then of course that'll lead to some big boycott that even Bill O'Reilly can't uderstand and that'll lead me to visiting the One Million Moms (actually 40,500 moms) Facebook page and leaving this. I know, pretty un-fucking-believable, right?

Pajamas, also spelled pyjamas (see also spelling differences) and often shortened to PJs, can refer to several related types of clothing. The original paijama are loose, lightweight trousers fitted with drawstring waistbands and worn in South and West Asia by both sexes. In many English-speaking nations, pajamas are loose-fitting, two-piece garments derived from the original garment and worn chiefly for sleeping, but sometimes also for lounging, also by both sexes. More generally, pajamas may refer to several garments, for both daywear and nightwear, derived from traditional pajamas and involving variations of style and material. According to a 2004 United States survey, 13% of men wear pajamas or nightgowns for sleeping, whereas 31% wear underwear and another 31% sleep nude. Among women, 55% wear pajamas or nightgowns -- a statistic I disagree with -- which were counted under the same option.

Most of our favorite celebrities are smokin' hot babes that are almost impossible to look away from, but they weren't always gorgeous starlets with ridiculously amazing bodies. Whether performing in children's competitions or simply attending the local school, every one of these Hollywood lovelies had to start out somewhere — as a kid. Some of them were super cute, while others may shock you with a unibrow or goofy smile delusive of the sexy celeb they would become later in life. Here's a look at 34 stars long before they became delectable babes and one unfortunate bonus... cough... cough... Catherine Zeta Jones...cough.

Black History Month is a national annual observance for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada in February and the United Kingdom in the month of October. The remembrance originated in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson as "Negro History Week". Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass.

(Sorry Mike - this looked like the real stuff!) Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a chemical compound used as an oxidizing agent to increase an internal combustion engine's power output by allowing more fuel to be burned than would normally be the case. Nitrous is often used as an abbreviation for nitrous oxide, also referred to as NOS. The term NOS is derived from the initials of the company name Nitrous Oxide Systems, one of the pioneering companies in the development of nitrous oxide injection systems for automotive performance use. For street use, nitrous oxide is stored as a liquid in blue bottles, but because of its low boiling point it vaporizes easily when released to atmosphere. When injected into an inlet manifold, this characteristic causes a reduction in air/fuel charge temperature with an associated increase in density, thereby increasing the cylinder's volumetric efficiency.

Peroni Brewery is a brewing company founded in Vigevano in Lombardia, Italy in 1846. It is now based in Rome and is owned by SABMiller. The company's main brand in Italy is Peroni (4.7% ABV) a pale lager sometimes known as Peroni Red in export markets, but it is probably best known worldwide for its premium lager Nastro Azzurro (5.1% ABV), which was the thirteenth best-selling beer in the United Kingdom in 2010. Peroni is the Peroni company's original brand, and the best selling pale lager in Italy. It is 4.7% abv, and is made with barley malt, corn grits, hop pellets and hop extract. Served in 12 ounce green bottles, Peroni had become the brand of beer most recognized throughout the Italian peninsula.

Glass recycling is the process of turning waste glass into usable products. Glass waste should be separated by chemical composition, and then, depending on the end use and local processing capabilities, might also have to be separated into different colors. Many recyclers collect different colors of glass separately since glass retains its color after recycling. The most common types used for consumer containers are colorless glass, green glass, and brown/amber glass. Every metric ton (1,000 kg) of waste glass recycled into new items saves 315 kilograms(693 pounds) of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere during the creation of new glass. Glass that is crushed and ready to be remelted is called cullet.

A British woman who served with the Royal Air Force for the last two months of World War I was the last known veteran of the war when she died in her sleep Saturday night. Florence Green joined the RAF at the age of 17 and died just before her 111th birthday, which would have been Feb. 19. She had been a mess steward with the air force, the BBC reported, serving in two U.K. air bases after she joined up on Sept. 13 1918. The Allies signed the armistice with Germany on Nov. 11, 1918. Green follows Claude Choules, a Royal Navy sailor who was the last WWI combatant before he died in May 2011, and Frank Buckles, the last American veteran of the war, who died in February 2011. So long, Florence Green, we hardly knew ye. [link | link]

During Media Week at Lucas Oil Stadium, the lovely host of Extra, Maria Menounos, explained to Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski a Super Bowl bet she had agreed to with her correspondent, A.J. Calloway. According to Maria, the bet called for her to do Monday's show in a Giants bikini if they beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. And as we all know, Tom Brady choked. Again. And so making good on her bet, here is Maria Menounos in a Giants bikini, camel toe and all. In related news, boy, Gisele Bundchen sure has put on a little weight, amirite?

Déjà vu (literally "already seen") is the experience of feeling sure that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques, which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of eeriness, strangeness, weirdness, or what Sigmund Freud calls the uncanny. The previous experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience has genuinely happened in the past.

Pine trees are among the most commercially important of tree species, valued for their timber and wood pulp throughout the world. In temperate and tropical regions, they are fast-growing softwoods that will grow in relatively dense stands, their acidic decaying needles inhibiting the sprouting of competing hardwoods. Commercial pines are grown in plantations for timber that is denser, more resinous, and therefore more durable than spruce. Knotty pine wood is widely used in high-value carpentry items such as furniture, window frames, panelling, floors and roofing, and the resin of some species is an important source of turpentine.

Cells of the immune system protect the body against pathogens. If cells in our bodies are infected by viruses, or become cancerous, then killer cells of the immune system identify and destroy the affected cells. Cytotoxic T cells are very precise and efficient killers. They are able to destroy infected or cancerous cells, without destroying healthy cells surrounding them. By understanding how this works, we can develop ways to control killer cells. This will allow us to find ways to improve cancer therapies, and ameliorate autoimmune diseases caused when killer cells run amok and attack healthy cells in our bodies. With that in mind, Samuel William "Bill" Hinzman was an American actor and film director. Hinzman's first role was the cemetery zombie in the horror film Night of the Living Dead in 1968. Hinzman died on Sunday, February 5, 2012 from cancer.

Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae. The term includes some members of the red, brown and green algae. Two specific environmental requirements dominate seaweed ecology. These are the presence of seawater (or at least brackish water) and the presence of light sufficient to drive photosynthesis. Another common requirement is a firm attachment point. As a result, seaweeds most commonly inhabit the littoral zone and within that zone more frequently on rocky shores than on sand or shingle. Seaweeds occupy a wide range of ecological niches. The highest elevation is only wetted by the tops of sea spray, the lowest is several meters deep. In some areas, littoral seaweeds can extend several miles out to sea. The limiting factor in such cases is sunlight availability.

Good ol' supervillains. They're the eternal underdogs; constantly having to put up with pesky heroes who come bounding into their underground/volcanic/moonbase lair – all white teeth and goody two-shoes – messing up a perfectly good plan for world domination just because some liberal somewhere said: “Ummm killing millions of people is, like, bad, OK?” Worst of all, the heroes always win. Despite the lack of job satisfaction, there is no shortage of supervillains out there in the world of comic book movie adaptations, and in a genre where even the superheroes wear look-at-me spandex, it's pretty hard to make yourself stand out from the crowd. But there is one particular category of villainy that is rather notable (for the male fans at least): that of the supervillain babe. She's the bad girl who would kick your puny human ass while wearing less clothes than a naturist in July. She's the devil with an angel's face. She's the – well you get the idea… What follows is a collection of criminal hotness that could seriously singe your man-bits.

The Compact Disc is an optical disc used to store digital data. It was originally developed to store and playback sound recordings exclusively, but later expanded to encompass storage of data (CD-ROM). Audio CDs and audio CD players have been commercially available since October 1982. From a technical standpoint, a CD is made from 1.2 millimetres (0.047 in) thick, polycarbonate plastic and weighs 15–20 grams. From the center outward, components are: the center spindle hole (15 mm), the first-transition area (clamping ring), the clamping area (stacking ring), the second-transition area (mirror band), the program (data) area, and the rim. The inner program area occupies a radius from 25 to 58 mm.

A poncho is an outer garment designed to keep the body warm or, if made from a watertight material, to keep dry during rain. Ponchos have been used by the Native American peoples of the Andes since pre-Hispanic times and are nowadays considered typical South American garments. The poncho is essentially a single large sheet of fabric with an opening in the center for the head with a piece of fabric that covers the head. Rainproof ponchos normally are fitted with fasteners to close the sides once the poncho is draped over the body, with openings provided for the arms; many have hoods attached to ward off wind and rain.

Mark Zable started with "unhealthy food tastes good" they same way Einstein started with "I don't think space is flat," chasing the thought through an insane level of work to a reality-redefining result: deep-fried beer. This is less a fried snack than a personal vendetta against the organ transplant industry. It took Zable three years to work out the recipe because his experimentally fried protosnacks kept exploding. Returning to the same place full of explosions three years running for a ridiculous reason technically means he's an action hero.
